Since bug 550 is resolved, blocked users are allowed to create users. The dutch entry in the log is then: 21 jul 2006 22:46 Occulair (Overleg | bijdragen | blokkeer) Maakte een account voor Gebruiker:Effe Iets Andersd, Dan???Froggy (Overleg | bijdragen | blokkeer) (don't know the english one) Through some page users are allowed to create accounts. This possibility is not blocked when a user is blocked, not even when the IP is prevented to create users. The created users seem not to be able to edit. A troll on nl.wp is using this leak, and creating accounts, and trolling that way. If this could be fixed, please. It could be temporarily fixed by taking away the createuser-ability from all logged-in users on nl.wikipedia , though, this is not perfect, as all wiki's will have the same problem. Thanks.
Please provide exact links to the user and block logs if possible, demonstrating that users were being created when their IP was blocked. I just tried this, and get the message "Account creation from this IP address (...) has been temporarily restricted. This is probably due to persistent vandalism from the shared IP address you are editing from, most likely from your school or internet service provider.". Are you sure the blocks prohibited account creation?
In any case, even if account creations is *not* blocked for the IP, it *should* be blocked for the logged in, blocked user.
user creating accounts: http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciaal%3ALog&type=&user=Occulair&page= Blocked user: http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciaal%3ALog&type=&user=&page=user%3AOcculair So oscar blocked him, and he was able to create accounts. Afaik, you should check maybe, was the IP of this user also blocked after the change with fixing bug 550. This was done after a checkuser.
